    <thetext>(In reply to comment #3)
&gt; Please check that what I did with the end tag is also acceptable.

The end tag handling doesn&apos;t remove the form element from the stack in this case:
&lt;form&gt;&lt;table&gt;&lt;/form&gt;

Presumably, there&apos;s a reason why the element is removed from the stack in the non-table case.

Why shouldn&apos;t the end tag case just fall through to the &apos;in body&apos; mode as part of &apos;anything else&apos;?</thetext>

Check-in comment: let in-body handle &lt;/form&gt; in table, since that works correctly.
